Kitchen Stories: Indian Inspired Lentils

What did you have for lunch today? I had these delicious lentils, inspired by Indian flavours. I’ll share the recipe here for you to try them, I guarantee a smile on your face

What you need (servings 1-2):

2 cups of lentils (rinsed and drained)

2 tbs coconut oil

1 medium size zucchini finely chopped

1 cup mushrooms finely chopped

¼ cup red onion finely chopped

1 tbs turmeric powder

1 tbs garam masala

1 tsp cumin

Salt & Pepper to taste

Basmati rise on the side

Cilantro and avocado for garnish

In a medium size casserole place the coconut oil with the red onion to medium heat and stir for 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and mushrooms and stir for about 1 minute until everything blends together, then put the lid on the casserole for 3 to 4 minutes on low heat. Stir in the lentils, and add the turmeric, garam masala, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir for about 2 minutes then put the lid on the casserole for 2 more minutes.

I like to serve it in a bowl next to the rise, and then garnish with cilantro and avocado. Bon appetite!
